    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part 1. After "wish," the correct verb form is the past subjunctive, which uses "were" instead of "was" for all subjects. The sentence should be: "I wish I were more confident about my ability to solve complex problems easily."
